Question:
When calculating a cable using the STEEL EC3 add‑on module, there is the error message "Incorrect characteristic stresses for material No. 1! Please correct in Table 1.2. "

Answer:
For the "Cable..." material, there are no entries for yield strength and tension resistance stored in the library (see Image 02). Therefore, the calculation basis for these members is missing in the add-on module. In order to be able to design such materials, it is necessary to create a new material and, provided that the information from the manufacturer is known, add the missing parameters manually.
